Marion joined the Women Empowerment Program in 2019 as a shy, uncertain woman with little confidence in her abilities. Today, she is the elected chairperson of her village women's savings group and a recognized community leader.
Finding Her Voice
Before the program, Marion rarely spoke up in community meetings. She had been taught that women should be seen and not heard. The empowerment training challenged these beliefs and helped her discover her own voice.
Leading by Example
Marion's transformation inspired other women in her community. She organized the first women's savings group in her village, bringing together 25 women who meet weekly to save money, share resources, and support each other's businesses.
The group has since funded multiple small businesses, supported families during emergencies, and advocated for better services in their community. Marion leads with compassion and determination, ensuring every woman's voice is heard.
Changing Perceptions
"Even my husband has changed," Marion laughs. "He used to think women's meetings were a waste of time. Now he brags to everyone about what our group has accomplished. The whole community sees women differently because of what we've achieved together."
